It’s the “friends with benefits” tale as old as time. Well, it’s at least a tale as old as the pair of romantic comedies from 2011 about the precarious arrangement. Adding a new spin on the story, Young & Hungry’s Gabi and Josh introduce the revolutionary yet slightly psychotic idea of a Sex Punch Card™ (copyright Gabi Diamond, 2016).

The season finale picks up where Gabi and Josh left off: naked in bed, post regrettable make-up, spur-of-the-moment sex. Theirs is a love story built on true fire and passion. Kidding, but one of these days, they do have to get it together and stop avoiding the inevitable. The question is: How much longer will they allow their issues to ruin their chance for actual romance?

In a completely unforeseeable and not at all contrived plot device meant to push Gabi and Josh together (I see you, Young & Hungry), Gabi and Sofia’s apartment building needs fumigating. Instead of heading to the suggested sketchy hotel, they — along with building-mate Yolanda — bunk at Josh’s penthouse. And Elliott and Alan, torn up over Keisha returning to her family, seek refuge at Josh’s. It’s a full house. What could go wrong?

Evidently, quite a bit could go wrong. Gabi and Josh want to keep their casual-sex deal under wraps from their friends, especially Sofia, who would be none too pleased with another round of de-Josh-ing Gabi when it all falls apart. But they find it almost impossible to live in such close quarters without being tempted to jump in bed. On the first night as roomies, they can’t sleep and decide to just be friends. That resolve lasts for a cool three seconds before they end up making out on the kitchen floor.

First, they’re nearly caught by a sleepwalking Yolanda. Then Sofia’s up and at ’em at 4 a.m., on the hunt for kombucha for Logan. Then they find Elliott tossing and turning on the couch. Finally, it’s all too much for them, and they confess to Alan that they’re sleeping together for fun, with no intention of getting back together. He advises them to have sex only 10 times. Anything more will lead to catching feelings. Enter the Sex Punch Card™.

They each have four more opportunities to cash in on their friends-with-benefits rewards program. Although they understand the definition of moderation (kind of), Elliott does not. He downs two bottles of wine to ease the hurt of losing Keisha to her family. And to think, he didn’t even like her at first. He drinks a $4,000 bottle and hastily replaces it with (what’s probably) Two Buck Chuck. Suddenly, he’s no longer inconsolable and can love again. Namely, his and Alan’s new dog, Yentl.

Gabi and Josh elect to save their sexcapades for a rainy day. A literal rainy day rolls around, and Josh finds a trail of clothing leading up to the shower in his bedroom. Little does he know, the clothes belong to Sofia. He walks in on Sofia showering, thinking it’s Gabi. The cat’s out of the bag, and Sofia storms out of the penthouse wearing a towel. (That’s how you know you’re 100 percent done.)

Gabi ignores Sofia’s contempt for the rekindling of whatever “thing” she has with Josh. She tries to follow through with their rainy day special, but she realizes she’s been selfish. An open letter to Gabi: It took you this long to realize that you can be self-involved? But honestly, who isn’t selfish from time to time? With lovably unlikeable television characters like Girls’ Hannah and The Mindy Project’s Mindy, it seems practically normal to never ask your friends about their lives. But that doesn’t excuse Gabi from disregarding Sofia’s new job.

Thankfully, Gabi chooses Sofia over another meaningless romp in the sheets with Josh. She even goes so far as to rip up her Sex Punch Card™ and throw it in the trash. Gabi’s third-act revelation, that best friendships are more important than uncertain relationships, highlights some major growth in Young & Hungry. Even though she picked the card out of the trash, Gabi at least recognizes that her behavior isn’t exemplary. She knows what she’s doing could be potentially dangerous, but she’s willing to risk it on the off chance that she and Josh actually belong together. And we all know that they do.

What do you think, Youngries? Should Gabi and Josh just throw in the towel and get back together? What do you hope to see next season? Sound off in the comments!
